Outlook Express

[Michael]

I just upgraded from 98SE to XP Home. I setup up Outlook
Express but have lost my incoming mail and address book.
I thought this was kept on the server. How can I see my
incoming and address book again?

the server doesn't stored you addy book or mail in Outlook Express

if you want to save addy book.
put a floppy in
go to addy book,
click file, export
and save as a .wab on a floppy
so you don't lose it again.
